11 PM at the Four-nine City.
Normally, it would have been quiet and lights out by now.
After all, those living here are influential elders.
At this time, they should all be resting.
But tonight, the city is brightly lit everywhere.
No one is asleep!
Moreover.
Armed personnel are patrolling everywhere.
All of this.
Is because of Qin Fan's words to the old Wang about a bloodbath!
The atmosphere of a storm is invisibly spreading throughout the Four-nine City at this time!
Deep within the Forbidden City.
Wang Anshi, who hadn't slept in over forty-eight hours, stood in thin clothes on a high platform.
At his feet, cigarette butts lay scattered all over.
His brows were tightly furrowed.
His face trembled continuously!
Not because of the cold.
He's become numb to the cold by now.
The shadow of fear and panic completely overshadowed him.
Between his fingers was a cigarette, its ember glowing and smoke swirling.
